Seasoned change management consultant Alain Volz shares his transformative journey in social entrepreneurship, shea butter, and community development in Africa . Alain gives insights into his remarkable career and the pivotal shifts he is igniting in societal change and conscious business. He discusses his community- the Dagomba tribe in Ghana and the challenges and triumphs encountered in attempts to reshape international trade and development aid to better serve communities and empower women.

Key Takeaways:

Return on extraction- sustainable standards for international trade.


Explore the necessity for genuine engagement and partnership in fostering sustainable development.


Understand the complexities of international trade and development aid and their influence on communities.


Grasp the challenges and triumphs in scaling up community-driven initiatives for societal improvement.



Connect with Alain Volz:

For over 20 years Alain has worked as a change management consultant. He started his career with Royal Dutch Ahold, at that time also the 3rd largest supermarket retailer in the USA. He introduced competency based human talent management in the Netherlands working for a top 3 consultancy company called Twynstra Gudde. In 2006 he became board member of the Center for Human Emergence, a foundation focused on transformative societal change & conscious business. In 2011 representative leaders from the Dagomba tribe in Ghana invited him to co-work with them. Their call was "international trade is not serving our communities & development aid is not in alignment with our needs & tradition. We don't need people coming here, telling us what to do and how to do it. We need partners who can truly engage with us. Those are rare and that is why we have invited you here". Though many projects are more than successful, the communities are suffering from economic repression more than ever before, and is Dipaliya struggling to find funding for scaling up their activities
